DESCRIP version 1.0 by Daniel McCann
DESCRIP is a utility to view the module descriptions of files that contain
a Windows 3.1 executable file header. These types of files include EXE
(executable) and DLL (dynamic link library).
"The DESCRIPTION statement [of a module definition file] inserts text
into the application module. It is useful for embedding version-control
or copyright information."* Also it can be useful to the end user who wants
to know what a specific DLL is for and if it is needed.
The original reason for making DESCRIP was to easily view module definitions
of DLLs deposited by an installation program in my C:\WINDOWS and
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories. Therefore not a lot of time was put into the
interface (that is apparent the first time you run the program I'm sure).
DESCRIP and the included source code is released as public domain.
To install DESCRIP copy COMMDLG.DLL to your Windows System directory. If you
own Windows version 3.1 this file will allready be contained there and it is the
same version as the one I am distributing. Next copy DESCRIP.EXE to any directory,
but it is suggested that you copy it to a directory named in your path variable.
If you don't understand how the path variable works copy it to your Windows
directory.
DESCRIP launched without parameters will allow you to choose the file
to open. Alternatively you can pass a command line parameter of a file name
to open.
Since I don't plan on making the program any better and the time it took
was minimal I am not asking for any monetary contribution. Instead I am
asking any user who uses DESCRIP regularly (use your own judgement) to send
me mail saying you like the product. This is known as "egoware".
As stated previously I don't plan to upgrade or support DESCRIP but if I
get enough mail I may change my mind. Who knows?
